Does it REALLY matter - no. Embarrassing public relations disaster - YES definitely and I suspect someone will be losing their job.

I don't think it matters if the apparel is privately funded or not. We are sending our best athletes to England to compete for our country. We could at least dress them with the best we have. MADE IN AMERICA!!! Helen

I truly feel that the "wrapping paper" should be of the same caliber as the "gift". Made in the USA, of course!

While it might be nice to see the Olympic clothing "made in the USA," let's not forget that one of the most beloved and iconic pieces of Olympic clothing was the berets that Canada's Roots designed and produced for the 2002 Olympics.

It should matter to Americans that U.S. Olympic Team uniforms are made in U.S.A. However, the fact of the matter is that Americans do want to support fellow American workers so why should Ralph Lauren??. Americans demand the lowest price possible; corporations demand their profits; stockholders demand dividends. In this equation, supporting the American worker is just too expensive.

No it should not matter. What it does say is someone cares enough to do it and is in the sport of it. As long as it is presentable and represents, let the drama go! Woodlawn

It would be nice to have the uniforms made in the U.S.A.But we dont work for 50 cents a day. That's the reason they are made in china.

The only thing that really matters is that the US Olympic Team is made in the USA.

WTH? Why is this even a question? Of course Team USA's uniforms should be made in the US. Do you think China will get their uniforms made in the US?

Based on the pictures I have seen, I don't recall seeing "USA" or an American flag on the blazers. It looks like our athletes are representing "Team Polo."

There is a very good reason why the US Olympic Uniforms were make in China. The United Garment Workers of American would have made these uniforms for about four times of cost of China's workers. Harry Reid you looked like a fool yesterday, with your remarks.

Yes, I do believe it's important for the uniforms to be made in the US. With the high unemploment why would we outsource ? Maybe the Olympic could support us since we support them

Why wouldn’t we make our own uniforms. We would make them with pride of our great nation – who else can do that? I can’t believe we would send our money to another nation when so many are jobless here.

I do think it matters that Team USA uniforms are made in USA. Producing the uniforms domestically would ensure we support our economy, our workers and our teams.
